Le Bourget airport

Le Bourget airport (Aéroport du Bourget) is an airport, located in Le Bourget, close to Paris, France, nowadays only used for general aviation (business jets) as well as air shows.

It also hosts the French Museum of Air and Space (Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace), and, every other year, the Paris Air Show.

The airport started commercial operations in 1919 and was for long Paris' only airport until the construction of Orly Airport.

In 1977 Le Bourget airport was closed to international traffic and in 1980 to regional traffic, leaving only business jets to operate.
